StumbleVideo is a service from StumbleUpon and works similar to the idea of stumbling websites except it’s just for videos. StumbleVideo pulls clips from different video sites like YouTube, Google Video and MySpace and let’s you give them a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. which will influence what kind of videos you get shown in the future. You can also pick from different video channels, so you only get shown video game or music (for example) clips if you like.
You don’t need a StumbleUpon account to get started but if you want your stumbles and ratings to be saved, you’ll need to sign up with one. There is no commenting on the videos at the moment, which is it’s only real drawback. This is a good service for those who already spend plenty of time on sites like YouTube, here are a couple of cool videos to get you started.
Some great freeware to check out

Thanks for the link! I have been using stumbleupon for quite a while now, and havent seen the video side of it. It will be a handy little time-waster…

I have difficulty pulling myself away from the computer screen playing on stumbling and now with stumble video, I guess my internet addiction will deepen.

I have been stumbling for quite a time now and stumble is the source of maximum productive content that I come across.
I use stumble for stumbling upon useful tutorials on blogging, photoshop and humor.
Yeah, the only one feature lacking with Stumble Video is ability to comment to videos. I’d really like to see it up ASAP…
